Playing Cards with my Color Hues Friends!


I have the best fun to share:  I invited the entire Color Hues team to Play Cards with me this month!!  They said YES!!  Truly something to celebrate!!

But the fun continues, because I get to invite ALL of YOU to Play Cards, too!!  Can you dig it??  So here is our assignment, and yours:       

  • Red [white] and Blue
  • Stars or Stripes [can be from patterned papers!]
  • Embellishments of any kind i.e. alphas, numbers, bling, etc.
Here is how I brought the assignment together:


I've used patterned paper to die-cut my stars whose patterns are laid out in rows [or stripes], embellished with lots of little die-cut stars from the same papers, and even got the ol' sewing machine out!

I hope you'll join us!  Right now, I can't wait another moment to see the teams' cards at Color Hues - they always blow me away with their creativity!  Let's go!!

LOVE this card, Michelle! I recognize some of those patterned papers, and what a festive card the stars make. Your bit of red cardstock peeking out from the side of the card is a wonderful design element. Thanks for inviting the Color Hues DT to play along with you!

How wonderful, Michele! You and Nancy must have had fun coming up with this clever idea! All the inspiration between here and with the Color Hues team is a bonus treat for the rest of us!

Your card is absolutely gorgeous with the trail of patterned paper stars and the perfect sentiment! As always I am in awe of your creativity.
